WORDS ABOUT MUSIC + POP CULTURE
-
You’re probably looking at this very article because you’ve listened to the FREE RANGE radio show of July and wanted to know what some of the songs were called on it. Or, this piece is the very reminder you needed to alert you to the fact it is out in the first place. Either way,…

Gilla Band used to be Girl Band, but changed their name. We’ll be able to stop saying that soon, as they’ll have a new album out and we can all move on. This new record is called ‘Pugnello’ and if you’re not fussed with more writing and want the tunes, scroll to the bottom for…

Like everyone else, we’re completely in love with Pink Pantheress and everything she does, so the news that she’s collaborating with Kelela is fantastic news, right? They might feel like two artists with opposing sensibilities, but they share a lot of common ground. This new track is called ‘The Bridge’ and is from Kelela’s new…

We’ve featured Biita Houdei before, and now we get to tell you about her debut album which is coming out in September, and there’s a small UK tour to accompany it too, for fans of sunshine acid-folk. The album goes by the name of ‘This Bed Was Made For Me’ and we get to hear…

Jorja Smith knows how to put a banger out, so it is fun news that she’s announced a new record which will be called ‘What Are The Odds?’, and you’ll be able to hear that next month, specifically on August 21st. She’s collabing with producer P2J and there’ll be features from Devlin and WizKid too. “This…

We don’t know a whole lot about new group Tokyo Tea Room, but we do know that we like this new song by them, which goes by the name of ‘All Night’. It has a really nice video too, which doesn’t do it any harm. There’s a new album coming out called ‘Feel Forever’, which…

Jon Hopkins has collaborated with Imogen Heap on a new track which, honestly, is a marriage made in heaven. It does seem strange that they haven’t crossed paths before, and Jon Hopkins agrees. He says: “I’d been building this piece for something like a year and kept coming back to it, but it never quite…

The United States is having an alternative country boom at the moment, to fly in the face of all that dreadful MAGA business, and all the stadium country acts profiting from it. One of the exciting faces of this movement is Angela Autumn, who grabbed some column inches with her ‘Electric Lizard’ records which came…
-
It’s a tough business trying to predict what Mykki Blanco is going to do next. One minute, it’s killer bass heavy rap, the next is dreamy rock, the next it’s seeing photos from the British countryside having a nice, rainy holiday. This time around, it’s the music, on a brand new track called ‘Butt Sex’,…
-
We haven’t had the chance to cover much Estonian music, so we’re thrilled to give a nod to the new track from Holy Motors. If you’re into the kind of psychedelic music that combines vaporwave, dream pop, shoegaze and all that good heady stuff, you will find a lot to like here. They have a…

TOM WAITS IS BACK, WITH THE FUNNIES
Tom Waits made a surprising return with Massive Attack lately on a track called ‘Boots On The Ground’, which made for an intense, insular listen about some of the global bullshit going on at the minute. Well, he’s back some more, releasing the full version of his spoken-word track ‘The Fly’, which of course, you…

FLO MILLI WITH A PSYCHEDELIC RAP
Flo Milli is going to release her fourth LP later this year, and to tease the release of course, there’s a new song to listen to. The album is called ‘FloState’ (that’s neat) and it’ll be on Jive. There’s no firm details on it just yet, but there’s a new psychedelic, syrupy number to listen…

THE BEATLES MICHELLE / TAKE ONE
You’ve probably heard by now, that there’s a fancy, deluxe version of ‘Rubber Soul’ by The Beatles coming out, right? While we could slavishly cut and paste the tracklistings for the various discs to pad out the word count for this article like most publications have, we’ll assume you’ve got the wherewithal to find out…

SYLVAN ESSO NEW SONG IS PRETTY NICE
What do you know about Sylvan Esso? We don’t know anything about them, but the algorithm did its job for once and gave us this new song from them. They’re a duo, it’s a pretty nice song that has a whiff of trip hop about it, but not entirely, with a catchy nursery rhyme melody…
